How are we suppose to receive free upgrade if purchasing via Mac App Store?
- dljsjr 13y agoThe upgrade won't be distributed as a new product. They'll just release version 4 as an update to the same product as version 3.
- nicky0 13y agoIt will likely be a free update on the MAS.
- Samuel_Michon 13y agoIsn’t that the point of the Mac App Store? It doesn’t offer developers the option to charge for updates. The current version is 3.9.6 – if you once bought 1Password in the Mac App Store, you’ve likely received countless free updates already.
- dkokelley 13y agoThe workaround for that is simply to release the update as a new app. So, your customers could buy App 3.x and receive updates for App 3.x through 3.x+n, and then App 4.x is released separately.
- Samuel_Michon 13y agoI don’t see how that’s relevant. The publishers have stated they will provide a free upgrade to v4. I was answering the question of how such a free upgrade could work in the App Store, which is simple: the App Store doesn’t even support paid updates, only free ones.
